(AutoIt) PKCS11 Import a Private Key onto the HSM

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to import an existing RSA private key onto the smartcard/token. The imported key is a token object, meaning it stays on the HSM and exists beyond the end of the PKCS11 session.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

; This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

; If our only task for now is to simply import the key, we can ignore the returned handle,

; This example just creates the key and does not use the returned handle.
